Ellis was all alone* watching the snow fall. What a peaceful night.

(… perhaps he should have been cleaning dog nose prints off the window. What a slacker!)

Less on the focusing… more on the feeling.
The feeling of Christmas is slowing entering me. I am putting the tree up and decorating this weekend. There is less focus of chores this weekend… more focus on Christmas. (Chores can wait.)
I shot this yesterday with no intention of using it for my weekly shot… however, time slipped away and I did not get to shooting the shot I intended.

My daughter met her "cousin" Mocha from San Diego for the first time yesterday. It was love at first sight.

I was very uninspired this week and took this photo for the sake of saying that I took a photo.
I love my itty-bitty Starbucks ornament, tho!

before and after*

I processed the RAW file in Canon’s Digital Photo Professional by adjusting curves and reducing noise. I sharpened it up a bit as well. Once I converted it, I opened the image in Gimp. I rotated it slightly to straighten it up and cropped it. Then I ran a vintage script. I lowered the yellow, blue and magenta. The script also ran a bleach bypass. I adjusted that. I then added three of Kim Klassen’s textures. I used "Phoebe", "Warm Sun" and "Canvas Magic". I changed each of them to overlay or screen and adjusted the opacity. And of course, I added a watermark / logo .
I like adding a slight texture to my photos lately. I don’t like the texture to be too obvious. I hope that is true.
